I object to this. The .NET Framework is top tier and sets a high bar for standard libraries, in my opinion. It also runs on any OS just fine, especially now that Microsoft's own implementation is open source and MIT licensed. The community is also very strong with tons of docs and libraries and SO Q&As and plenty of jobs and local user groups. And if you don't like the C# boilerplate, F# has all of the same benefits. Enough with the FUD around .NET/C#, I'm a full time Linux greybeard and even I'm sick of it.
